Monorepo Setup

Auto-Detection

Krait automatically discovers all workspaces in a monorepo by walking the directory tree and finding manifest files (package.json, go.mod, Cargo.toml, CMakeLists.txt).

For most monorepos, just run:

krait init

krait init

krait init scans your project, detects all workspaces, and generates .krait/krait.toml:

$ cd ~/projects/my-monorepo
$ krait init

Detected project root: /Users/me/projects/my-monorepo
Detected workspaces:
  typescript  packages/api
  typescript  packages/common
  typescript  packages/web
  go          backend

Written: krait.toml (4 workspaces)
Edit this file to customize which workspaces to index.

Generated Config

[[workspace]]
path = "packages/api"
language = "typescript"

[[workspace]]
path = "packages/common"
language = "typescript"

[[workspace]]
path = "packages/web"
language = "typescript"

[[workspace]]
path = "backend"
language = "go"

How It Works

Krait runs one LSP process per language and dynamically attaches workspace folders via workspace/didChangeWorkspaceFolders. This means:

• No restart needed when switching between packages
• Shared type information across packages of the same language
• Minimal memory footprint vs. one-server-per-workspace

Tested Monorepos

Krait is tested against real-world monorepos:

Project	Stack	Workspaces
medusa	TypeScript	76
meet	TypeScript	6
WeKnora	Go + TypeScript	3
